About this experience
This tour stands out for providing a varied experience in two cities with distinct identities, allowing visitors to contact with different expressions of history, culture and Portuguese everyday life.
In Aveiro, the visit is enriched by the traditional moliceiro walk, a typical boat used in the collection of the molice. The navigation through the canals offers a unique perspective on the architecture, urban life and the historical connection of the city to the river, making the experience authentic and differentiating.
The cultural aspect is reinforced with the visit to the main monuments, which allow to understand the religious, artistic and social past of the city. In Coimbra, the tour reveals an important historical center of knowledge and academic life, marked by centuries of university and cultural tradition.
The contrast between the quiet atmosphere of Aveiro and the historic character of Coimbra makes this experience balanced, rich and memorable.
